Dogwood Alliance tackles deforestation in the Southeast

This morning while scanning my Bloglines RSS feeder I came across this story from Treehugger about the paper mill industry and its affect on the ecology of the Southeastern U.S.

Apparently the Southern U.S. is the largest paper producing region in the entire world! I had no idea how many millions of acres of our forests are cut down each year to produce paper until I read this article.
